Notes From America – MLK: Blueprint for The Culture

Specials | Feb 9, 2023

The 17th annual Apollo Uptown Hall MLK celebration MLK: Blueprint For The Culture focuses on Dr. King and the Civil Rights Movement of the 60's as the template for modern social and civil justice movements. This year, we celebrate young people impacting society through activism, engagement, and a commitment to justice. Host Kai Wright is joined by historian and National Book Award winner Imani Perry and Chelsea Miller, activist and the co-founder of Freedom March NYC. They discuss King’s legacy in the context of the Nina Simone song, “To Be Young, Gifted and Black.”

Airs Wednesday Feb. 15, 2023 at 8 p.m. on 93.9-FM and AM 820 WNYC.
